I'm getting my G2 on Monday. A month or two ago I read these forums religiously when I was trying to decide what to upgrade to it was highly recommend not to use flashify to install TWRP. Now Im reading a lot about people using flashify. Has something changed? Has the common consensus changed? Thanks for any input.

I actually have not heard anything bad about using flashify to install TWRP. I did this and everything went smoothly

Used it for CWM. Everything else I do through CWM.
I can't remember exactly what the issue was. Something happening after the fact. It was removed from options in the twrp guide. Maybe that was with an older version of twrp

I actually used flashify to install TWRP on my At&t D800. I downloaded the .img and flashed recovery through flashify. Although you NEED root AND busybox installed. This method worked fine for me.

Where did you downloaded TWRP img & what is the version of your G2 ? Would like to try it if it is fine. Thanks.
If you don't want any problems or are timid and scared of recovery hard flash, do as citytrader suggests. It is very easy. Some people, like me, can be lazy and purposely risky with certain things and go the easy, tinkering, and sometimes damaging route. ;]

How is using flashify dangerous?
Sent from my LG-VS980 using Tapatalk
One simple wrong line of code, something not playing well, no recovery. How isn't it besides pushing actual legit perfect line yourself.

Thanks for the info, unfortunately my version, d802b, doesn't supported.
Done it twice. Both before and after OTA. No problems either time. (Second time was after a brick rescue due to my incompetence.)

Yea no problems here. Rooted from my PC, then downloaded Flashify and installed custom recovery.

Same here. Used flashy to install twrp then flashed cleanrom on my phone. Works perfect.

Alright, So i rooted my lg g2, for some reason couldnt flash anything using TWRP. i flashed cwm, only to have my recovery screwed. I tried flashing back to stock, but couldnt get into device manager for some reason, im running windows 2002, I NEED my phone hopefully by today. Im kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff. With my recovery obliterated, i did a stupid thing and accepted the OTA update from verizon and i think im stuck inside some kind of bootloop. it shows the lg logo along with some writing at the top left hand corner, something like a error message it seems like. PLEASE HELP. How do i fix this?

but my problem is that it wont boot into recovery, Im really stressing out. ive seen that link but not sure how im supposed to do stuff without recovery. it boots then shows like a few little messages on the top left corner, then turns off
It has nothing to do with recovery. Read the forum he linked VERY carefully and follow their steps. If you still can't get it to work, then ask for help.

Hi, I've had my G2 for a couple weeks now and I absolutely love it. The only thing is that I've gotten so sick of the loads of bloatware and useless junk that I've decided to root it. I've rooted 3 or 4 phones before and the methods for the G2 seem just about as easy as it gets. I found 2 guides, one for actually rooting and one for installing TWRP recovery. I was just wondering if it matters what order I do this in, and also whether or not these guides are all I need to get my phone all ready to flash roms and all that other fun stuff. I've included the links to the videos below. Thanks in advance

Yes I know about this thread. But in regards to installing TWRP, should I do this before or after rooting the phone?

After you root, follow the link to ioroot19, you should be able to simple use freegee to install twrp.

Hello all, I've got an LG G2 LS980 on 4.2.2 Jellybean. (I do not want to update to Kitkat) I cannot seem to install a custom recovery. I've read multiple guides and followed them all perfectly.. The ones using loki flash always give an error such as "Not a valid loki image" or "aboot version does not match the device" I've tried using the dd command on teamwin's site as well and all it did was completely remove my stock recovery. I've spent days trying to get this to work, please could someone help

Here is the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522965
You said you read multiple guides, so I'm sure you've done this one already. If so, I would suggest you .tot to ZVA and start over. I first installed recovery on ZVA and didn't have issues like yourself.

That sucks... Sorry to hear that. Hopefully there's some other way you can stumble upon. Good luck

I made a flashable zip of the images @TheJesus posted. This will make it easier to go back to stock to take ota's or whatever. Just flash the zip in TWRP then fastboot flash the stock recovery. This zip can also get you out of a jam provided you have it on your SD.

You're welcome buddy. I knew it would come in handy.
This saved me arse, mate! Thanks a lart! Cheers!
Thank you! Life saver !
I edited build pro and messed up my phone this save my life thanks!!
I had to get 10 posts before I could thank you, but I'm in debt; I soft-bricked my phone yesterday night, panicked for about 30 minutes because adb wouldn't connect with my phone, Lg restore tool is a complete joke, and literally so little is posted about this phone, and I literally thought to myself "I now have a $700 paperweight that T-mobile wont replace because I rooted/Unlocked bootloader." Good thing TWRP was still accessible so I used this to restore my phone, so thank you SO MUCH from saving me from an inevitable meltdown at 3AM trying to frantically fix my phone. LmaO :laugh:
ok flashed device and now the lg logo is stuck and wont move after that?
Can you explain in detail what you did?

Got it to work thank u
Thanks for this. Is is necessary to reflash the stock recovery after flashing this? Or will TWRP still work if I had it installed before I flashed?
Twrp will still work.

If we do this, will they know the phone was flashed before? Just trying to avoid rooting,but I really want my data so want to know if there is a way out.
lesson learned
Thanks anyway for the help @Warrior1975. Just reading all the threads from beginning to end. Seeing all your questions for help throughout the threads has helped me in return when someone answers your question and helps
